It will, therefore, be advisable for any one, having to re mit money to Hamburg, to be particular in remitting the whole amount in one note. HEINE BROTHERS. TO CORRESPONDENTS. We have had so many applications from new Subscribers and others for Papers containing the Registration and Marriage Bills, &c., that we shall reprint them on Friday next, having no papers of the date required on hand. The publication of THE Su NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1836. We have this day copied into our pages an article from our able and excellent weekly Contemporary, the Spectator, which we think will interest our readers. While it shows in a striking point of view the great resources of the town of Dundee, and the rapid deve lopment which those resources are undergoing, it tends to illustrate the benefit which the country has derived from the addition of the LYNDHURST drag to the car of Reform. It also lets us a little into the motives which have actuated our pure and ever-to-be-revered hereditaries, in discharging their irresponsible duties. Dundee is a Radical town. It has committed the sin of returning, first Mr. KINLOCH, and then Sir H. PARNELL. The Bill for supplying it with water originated with the reformed Town Council—was brought in by Sir HENRY PARNELL—and supported by Mr. Fox MAuLE and Colonel LEITH HAY. Could there be better reasons for its rejection by the Lords ? Nor are we to overlook the agency part of the busi ness, in estimating the merits and elucidating the views of the parties concerned. Sir GEORGE CLERK was selected as a fit person to do that which no other per son would undertake. The Tory jobber-general for Scotland, at the instigation of the Dundee Tories, worked hard in the cause in the House of Commons, and before the Committee, misrepresenting, influencing, intriguing in all manner of ways. In the House of Lords, where he could not act in propria persona, he acted by proxy. He got the Duke of BuccLEuGtr, whom he had served in the job of the Trinity Harbour Bill in the Commons, to do a similar piece of dirty work for him in the Lords. A quid pro quo is the rule of Tory jobbers, so that sapient statesman readily under took the task assigned him, intimated to the Tory Peers that he was against the Bill, and had it immediately dispatched—sent to swell the list of those murdered Bills which cry for vengeance ,against the House of Lords. A Registration Commission was announced in the Gazette of the 13th instant, the object of which seems not to be properly understood. This measure arose out of the late Act for esta blishing a complete system of future reg,istration. All classes of the community being henceforth to be pro vided for in the newly-established Public Registry, it became obvious that the private registers, kept by Dissenters and others, to supply temporarily the de fects of the past system, would fall into disuse, and be in considerable hazard of getting out of their proper custody, or of being altogether lost. It is probable that an Act of Parliament may be passed hereafter for transferring these registers (which, though not official, have been in general kept so regularly and carefully as to leave no moral doubt of their value), to the cus tody of the Registrar-General, with provision for making indexes and allowing extracts duly certified to be given in evidence, as in the case of other registers. Previously to this being done, however, it was con sidered, (in the debates on the Registration Bill), necessary to have an investigation into the state and condition of these unofficial registers, in order to determine to what extent the above provision could safely be applied ; and for this purpose the Commission lately announced has issued. Several of the Commissioners, it will be observed, arc Dissenters of various classes, the inquiry being dir9ctcd, of course, to documents hitherto in use in their several denominations. The inquiry is nevertheless one of equal interest and importance to the whole com munity, as the property of every one may b e mo re or less affected by time necessity of resort i ng for proof to such sources. The Catholics, Quakers, and Jews h ave hi t h erto had their peculiar systems of registration, a n d t h e ori ginals or transcripts of their registers may conveniently be placed in a situation of safe and public deposit. The Commission, it is understood, is to be conducted by the parties named in it on public grounds, and with out any rcmune.fation, being what is commonly called an unpaid one. Mr. MACKWOe:RTII PRAED, well aware that he will never again have an opportunity of misrepresenting Yarmouth, has bey pis addressing the electors of Ayles bury, with a shrewd eye to their votes at the next election. In this address, after duly proclaiming him self a starched and b uckrammed Tory—that is to say, one of a genus now pretty nearly extinct—the Hon. Gentleman observes, " I entered the House of Com mons with the reputation of a Reformer, and had I chosen, I might greatly have advanced my personal interests and fortune ; but when I considered carefully the real sentiment s of those who so ardently pro fessed Reform, I , :ould not on principle ally myself to that party." Noble, high-minded young man I How Sir ROBERT' WALPOLE would have chuckled at the idea of such disinterested patriotism I But, alas, there were no PRAEDS in his degenerate days ; it was reserved for the nineteenth century to produce such a miracle of political integrity. Before, however, we write down Mr. WINTHROP MACK WORTH PRAED a Cato, we should be glad to be made acquainted with the exact nature and extent of the sacrifices which be has made for the preserva tion of his virtue. He tells us that there was a time when he might “. greatly have advanced his personal interests and fortune," provided only he had agreed to become a Reformer. Now, perhaps he will allow us respectfully to ask him, when this remarkable period was? It could scarcely have been during his first Session, for never was there a more notorious failure ; and still less could it have been during the subsequent ones, for by that time it had become manifest to the meanest political capacity that the Hon. Gentleman's services were not worth purchasing. Mr. HUNT, of Radical notoriety, once boasted of the great personal sacrifices he had made to his sense of public duty ; and we suspect that Mr. PRAED'S sacrifices have been something of the same character. However, be they small or great, one thing is certain—namely, that he will never have an opportunity of making them a second time ; unless indeed he be content to barter his vote for the situation of tide-waiter at Yarmouth. The Hon. Gentleman having sufficiently belauded his own political disinte restedness, went on to state, that when the present " Government came into office, they differed only in one important question from the Conserva tive party—on the Irish Church question." A greater fallacy than this was never yet pro pounded, even by a Tory. " Differed only in one important question I" Why, the two parties differed from each other as . much as black from white—night from day—heat from cold—summer from winter I The PEEL Ministry acted on the principle of Retrogres sion ; the MELBOURNE, on that of Advance. The prime object of the one was to check Reform ; of the other, to encourage it. The one adopted intolerance as its motto ; the other, civil and religious freedom. Sir ROBERT PEEL legislated exclusively in the spirit of the past ; Lord MELBOURNE looks, with the prophetic eye of statesmanship, to the future. The former was strong no where but in the Lords ; the latter is strong in the confidence and sup port of three kingdoms. And yet, forsooth, the two Ministries differed only on one point I It is really surprising the capacity these Tories have for talking nonsense. It was but the other day that an Essex parson gravely assured his hearers, that the Protestant Church was the main cause of the present tranquillity of Ireland ; and now we have Mr. MACKWORTH PRA ED assuring us with equal gravity, that the PEEL and MELBOURNE Governments are one and the same in every respect, except as regards the question of the Irish Church ! We suppose next we shall be told of the remarkable likeness that exists between Colonel SinTrro 111) and the late lamented Chimpanzee. Letters and papers from Madrid to the 12th inst., have been received, from which extracts are given under the head " Foreign Intelligence." They state, but not officially, that the Spanish Cabinet has been completed. The following is a list of the appoint ments :—Senor CALATRAVA—Presidency of the Council and Foreign Affairs; Senor MENDIZABAL— Finance ; Senor LoPEz—Grace and Justice ; S enor OLOZAGA—the Interior ; Senor De La CUADRA Marine ; General RODIL—War. There were several well-informed persons in Madrid who regarded the report of the completion of the Ca binet as premature, though it had appeared in the Eco of the 11th. In fact,' the difficulties in the way of forming an efficient Ministry, are so great, as almost to appear insurmountable. The acceptance of the Finance Department by MENDIZABAL, would, how ever, go a great length towards the restoration of ge neral confidence, in the good faith and unshaken firm ness of the Spanish Constitutional Government. There are no accounts from the seat of war of any importance. Several extracts of letters from the local authorities, are published in these Journals, but their contents, to an English reader, are not of the slightest moment. From the general aspect of affairs in the peninsula, we may safely infer that the war will not terminate with the present campaign. The prospect which a knowledge of this fact opens to Europe, is by no means cheering. The Paris Papers of Monday, the whole of which we have just received, contain no domestic intelligence of importance. The Cabinet is still incomplete, not withstanding the efforts made by Count MOLE and M. GuIZOT to procure the requisite number of col leagues from among the partizans of every party. M. MARTIN (Du NoRD) is still confined to his bed by a severe attack of inflammation of the intestines ; but it is expected that on his recovery he will accept the portcfeuille of Commerce and Public Works. Nothing less than a Marshal will serve M. GuIZOT for a War- Minister ; and unluckily the only two Marshals who know anything of Ministerial duties—SouLT and MOLlTOR—decline to have anything to do with the present chiefs of the Cabinet. M. LALA2.I MORAING, the French Ambassador to the Court of Brussels, is reported to have been de finitely' appointed by LOUIS PH Turpr, Ambassador to Madrid. His Excellency will leave Paris for the Spanish capital on Eiday. The Journal des Debats states that it is authorized to deny in the most solemn manner, the imputations cast upon the King of the FRENCH by M. VIARDOT --an extract from whose article in the Revue des deux Mondes appeared in The Sun of Monday last. The organ of the Doctrinaires asserts that it has the autho rity of Count MOLE for stating that he advanced no money in the name of the French Government in 1830, in behalf of the Society of Spanish Refugees, and that his Majesty the King of the FRENCH entered into no compact with any party hostile to the Government of FERDINAND VII. If M. VIARDOT be lieyond the reach of Ministers ' influence, this contradiction of his statement will lead to some very curious disclosures. In a letter of the 15th inst. from Bayonne, we find the following : " Don Carlos has received within these few days 1,500,00 0 francs in letters of credit upon this place. It is believed that this money comes from Russia and Holland. One thing is certain, namely, that some of those drafts bear the signature of two great Amsterdam houses. Considerable purchases of provisions, clothing, and ammunition, have just been made at Bayonne, by order of the Pretender ; and the contractors, who, a fortnight ago, refused to give any further credit to the Carlist agents, are eager, now that they have received im portant payments, to complete former orders, and to prepare themselves to execute new ones."

It is curious to read such extracts as the above in the Debats, side by side with long, laboured, dull Ministerial tirades, intended to prove that France has never directly or indirectly sought to evade the observance of the stipulations of the Quadruple Treaty. With respect to the supplies in specie received by Don C A Rios, it is well known that Russia has furnished them at regular intervals, since the breaking out of the war in the Peninsula. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. George Edwards Peacock, an attorney, was placed at the bar upon an indictment charging him with forging- the names of Watkins and Fountain to a power of attorney, for the pur pose of enabling him to sell out stock to the amount of 7,8141. ss. 10d., with intent to defraud the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. Other counts charged him with the same offence, only varying the names of the parties whom he intended to defraud. 111 r. MAULE, K. C., stated the case on the part of the prosecutor, and called John Wilson who was the subscribing witness to the set tlement, which constituted the prisoner a trustee of the stock for Selina Wilmer. . _ Francis Ridley was coachman to the. Rev. J. A. Peacock, the prisoner's father, also witnessed the execution of the deed, - Young, a clerk in the Consol-office in the Bank, pro duced- the book from the office. There was a sum of 7,814/. ss. 9d. standing in the names of - Fountain, Wil liam Watkins, and the prisoner. It was dated 26th July, 1831. It stood so till December, 1835, when a broker named James Clark transferred it to the name of H. Billings, in the name of George Edwards Peacock. He was the witnessing clerk. James Clark, a stock-broker. On the 7th December the prisoner called upon him, and said he wished to sell some stock standing in three names by a power of attorney. Wit ness accompanied him to the office, where they got one. He wrote a request upon the back of it, and handed it over to witness. He said he was going to Chancery-lane, and would return in two hours, and witness was to have got permission to transfer the stock, as the books were closed. He returned at two o'clock and then the transfer was ready, and prisoner executed it. The transfer was to a Mr. Bilt, who gave a cheque for the money, 7,814/. ss. 9d. Witness :proved the prisoner's handwriting to the request on the power of attorney. He knew - the prisoner before. James Thurl, a clerk in the Power of Attorney office, proved that he received the instructions to fill up the power of at torney, produced from the last witness. Wm. Fountain, a clergyman, was one of the trustees to the settlement. The signature to the Power of Attorney was not in his handwriting. There was no such person as the attest ing witness to his signature in his parish, of which he had been Rector 30 years. Cross examined by Mr. BODKIN—Knew the prisoner all his life, and had always considered him a very honest young man. The prisoner was much affected while this witness was under examination. Mr. BODKIN said he considered the case now as proved, and would not waste more of the public time. The prisoner did not wish at all to deny the fact of his guilt, and would have pleaded Guilty, but that he had been advised to take the other course, so as to have an opportunity of laying a statement before the Jury. Mr. MAULE was afraid that the case was not in a fit state to allow the present course to be taken. Mr. Bonn'\ had seen the address, and could assure his Learned Friend that he would have an acknowledgment of guilt from the prisoner's own mouth. Mr. MAMA was satisfied, and The prisoner addressed the Jury. His defence was written, and he was much moved in reading it, especially when he had to refer to his wife and child. He began by apologising for giving so much troubl e an d pain to the judge and jury—he had never denied his guilt, and would have pleaded guilty but for the advice of his legal adviser, in order to have an opportunity . of laying a statement of facts before the jury, in order to satisfy them that he had committed the crime from necessity, and not from inclination. His pecuniary difficulties were so great that he must have gone to prison, when his prospects, profession ally, would have been destroyed, and in that destruction his wife and child must have shared—still, though he was horrified at such a prospect for himself and his family, he would not have touched a farthing of the money had he thought that it would have injured any person. He had not the slightest intention to defraud either his brother or the Bank— from the very first it was his intention to have replaced the money. That such was his intention was clear, because had he meant to be dishonest, he would have fled with the 7,0001., and not have parted with it for the purpose of supporting his respectability by satisfying all his creditors, and establishing himself in a new business, in order to support his family, and replace the money. It was further proved by the fact of his having paid the dividends upon the stock upon two occasions to the amount of 2401. Had he been actuated by dishonest motives, he would not so have spent the money. He had been admitted an attorney in 1830 ; he then formed a partnership in London, which turned out unfortunately, and he lost 1,500/—be struggled on, and again lost 6001. for which he became security. He applied to his father and obtained small advances, but from his want of candour that venerable parent had been prevented from applying a remedy to perfect his cure. In the course of last year some of his friends ad vised him to enter into the discounting business, which they represented as being a very profitable one ; lie was led astray by them, and in order to obtain capital be drew his brother's money, but as he said before, not with the intention of defraud ing any person, but with the firm determination to restore it as soon as possible. His brother was now quite convinced of that, and could he have seen him before the discovery, the matterbank for or would some have be d • u lge e n n e e m s — a de no right. doubt H he ye werehad performing ha n the a public duty in the prosecution—but he hoped that the Jury, who must find him guilty, would for mercy's sake recommend him to mercy. A great number of most respectable gentlemen, clergymen, merchants, and attornies, gave the prisoner an excellent cha racter for honesty. The LORD CIIIEF JUSTICE very shortly summed up. The Jury retired for about half an hour, and then returned a verdict of Guilty; but they unanimously most strongly re commended him to mercy, on account of his previous good character. The prisoner was then led away. NEW COURT. John Page, a boy about fourteen years old, who had been convicted of stealing a scent-bottle from his master, was re commended to mercy on account of his extreme youth and previous good character, and, after an admonition from the Learned Sergeant, was discharged. Mary Newington was indicted for stealing two caps, and some other articles, the property of Ann Sell, her mistress. The prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutrix at Edmonton about three months, and the articles in question were found in her box. The prisoner was allowed to go at largo, and after she had got employment in the service of Mr. Wilkinson, a surgeon, a warrant was taken out by the prose cutrix. Not Guilty. James Guy Marhclaire, 28, was indicted for stealing 1,793 quires of foreign and English works, value 3001., the property of Henry Kerriot, his master. Mr. CLARKSON stated the case for the prosecution at some length, as it afterwards appeared in evidence. Henry Kerriot—l am agent to a foreign bookseller, and have a warehouse at 3, George-street, Euston-square, which con tained a large quantity of foreign and English works. In the month of March I took the prisoner into my employment, on the recommendation of Mr. Fyler, and 4or 5 months after wards I heard that a large quantity of valuable foreign and English works had got into Min market as waste paper. On examining my stock, I missed 1,793 quires of works, value 300/. I proceeded to the hobse of the prisoner, 106, High street, Marylebone, with a police-officer, on the 19th, and ga ve him into custody. The prosecutor was cross-examined at some length by Mr. PHILLIP'S. It appeared that after he had missed the property, he wrote a letter to the prisoner requesting him to return to his employment, and signing it " his friend and well wisher." The prosecutor explained that his motive for writing the letter, was to secure the person of the prisoner as he was at the time keeping out of the way. When he went to the prisoner's house, Markclaire said,—how could I take these works when I had not the key ? He afterwards said. 1 suppose I shall never see England again. Policeman E 156 took the prisoner into custody. He found some of the property at the house of Mahon of the Waterloo road ; Mahon of the Borough ; Jeffreys, Sun-street, Bishops gate-street ; Gosling, York-place, Islington, and several others. Joseph Mahon, Waterloo -road, purchased a large quantity of the property in question as waste paper, at 225. per cwt., from the prisoner. He gave his name and address on an em bossed card, as Mr. H. Kerriot. Witness, after purchasing the first lot, went to his brother, Mr. Mahon of the Borough, and desired him to inquire of the publishers, whose names ap peared on the title-pages of the work, if the prisoner was authorized to sell them as waste-paper. Thomas Mahon, Blackman -street, Borough, went to the house of Messrs. Treuttle and Wurtz, 30, Soho-square, who told him that Mr. Kerriot was authorized to sell these works as waste paper, or in any way he pleased. Andrew Gosling deposed that he had purchased a large quantity of the )roperty as waste paper from the prisoner, who gave the name of Kerriot. The prisoner received a good character; The Jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Mr. CLARKSON thought it right to state publicly that it was owing to the enquiries of Mahon and his brother that been extent of the robbery, and the person by whom it had d at b the committed, were discovered. Be was sorry to_ i s a a_y o in th t e h r e p a e a r m so e ns a the system not afforded for the disposal of stolen property, would be in a great measure put an end to. wh o creditable had manner, a u n r c a l e i a r ed because the if prisoner tese f l Edward Sight, a little boy about 11 e d ili n ti o e t a acted iickinis pockets, been twice previously tried and acquitted for h reticule, was charged with snatching and running off wit property of Anne containing a handkerchief and comb, the y e ars old, who had Islington.—Guilty. The Learned SERGEANT said the prisoner had had two Nutt,. a servant in the employ of Mr. Grey, of Park-place, lucky escapes, but he should now send him to the ship, as the only chance left of reclaiming him. Mr. Benjamin Critdiet, senior inspector of general post letter-carriers, died suddenly yesterday afternoon, it is said of apoplexy. STATISTICS OF THE DUNDEE WATER BILL: A "REMANET" of the LYNDHURST SESSION. (From the Spectator.) In an article on the " Private Bill System," in No. 421 of this journal, we made some remarks on the rejection of the Dundee Water Bill by the Peers; and observed in a note, that " if we had room for the statistics of the case it would be found that the local injury is of an aggravation amounting to national wrong." Having now the requisite space, we take up this remanet of the by-gone session, and lay before our readers a plain statement of the principal facts. Dundee was a famous place, in its way, five or six hundred years ago—stood sieges, furnished subsidies to royalty, and paid the other penalties of important station in troubled times. In 1651 it was stormed by Monk, and suffered sadly both in its population and riches : it had hardly recovered from a long train of calamities till several years after the rebellion in 1745.. In the course of the eighteenth century manufactures of cot ton, thread, and glass were attempted, but have been entirely relinquished ; and now Dundee relies for industrial occupation mainly on the manufactures of linen, in regard to which it stands the first town in Great Britain. The present population of Dundee may be taken at 60,000. There are no fewer than 62 spinning-mills or manufactories, employing 1,695 horse-power of steam. The tonnage of ship ping annually entering the harbour is 300,000. Twenty years ago the number of inhabitants was little more than half what it is at present ; the number of spinning-mills driven by steam was in 1811 only 4, and the horse-power GI ; and the whole capital invested in machinery did not exceed 22,000/. In 1832 there were 30 mills driven by steam-power equal to that of 600 horses. From these few facts we may see how rapidly the trade of this place has increased. The population has been doubled in twenty years ; but since 1811 the manufactures have been aug mented in the proportion of twenty-seven to one. Since 1832 the horse-power employed has been nearly trebled. Dundee owes is prosperity to great natural advantages, im proved, especially of late years, by the spirit and enterprise of the inhabitants. It is the best situated for commerce of any town on the east coast of Scotland ; and is the outlet of the products of some of the finest land—the Carse of Gowrie and the Vale of Strathmore for instance—to be found in any coun try. Coals are cheap and abundant. In 1815 the inhabitants commenced extensive improvements in the harbour, which gave an astonishing impulse to the trade of the place. There is every prospect that the trade and population of Dun dee will continue to increase. The same causes which have trebled its manufacturing capital since 1832 are still at work with a force certainly not diminished. The skill and enter prise of its inhabitants are not on the decline ; neither is there any probability of a failure of the demand for its staple article ; but on the contrary, a greater quantity of it must, we may say, inevitably be consumed. There is one grievous natural check, however, to the pros perity of Dundee. Such is the scarcity of water there, that the Latin poet might almost have applied to Dundee his cele brated distich on Ravenna— " Sit cisterna mini, quain vines, malo Raysnnm ; Qua poterim multo vendere pluris aquarn." It was stated to the Committee of the Lordst by Mr. James Black, an architect and surveyor of Dundee, that the manufacturers al-e compelled to use the water they procure from the little streams and wells which are their only sources of supply, twice over. " They hive reservoirs or ponds for re ceiving the water; it is then drawn from these by engines; it is then drawn back, and cooled by troughs going round the re servoirs." The second time the water is used, it is warm, and therefore deficient in condensing power. No mill-spinner or manufacturer will let a drop of water escape he can manage to retain ; and many engines are frequently stopped by the want of it. The waterfrom the kennels in the street is waylaid and boiled—an operation most offensive from the horrible stench it occasions. There is a perfect scramble for water among the inhabi tants. The system of " decoying" water from one well to another is extensively practised. By digging your own well deeper, you will probably drain your neighbour's dry. Owners of wells sell the water, when they have it ; but in the after noon it is frequently difficult to get it for love or money : Mr. Black says that the accumulation of the night is gene ra!ly drawn off early in the day. Numbers of the inhabitants depend upon being supplied by water carts paving at the rate of 2s. 2d. a barrel. In this way some 3,0001. per annum is expended by the poor people who cannot do better. There is no pure soft water in the town or neighbourhood; in fact, the analysis indicated a quality injurious to health. We have adverted to the shifts which the manufacturers are put to for this raw material of steam ; and it is needless to remark that it must also tell very much against the shipping trade of the place, that the necessary supply of fresh water for vessels is so costly and hard to be procured. The danger of loss by fire is augmented by want of water for the engines. The health of the inhabitants suffers. No people have such an excuse for being dirty as the inhabitants of Dundee—or for diluting their drink with the " mountain dew" produced in considerable abundance in those regions. Their chief magistrate, Provost Ray, told the Lords in his sworn evidence, that " in place of having plenty of water to wash and clean their children, they even grudge them a drink of water."t It must be kept in mind, that these evils are daily becoming more serious, from the rapid growth of the place. The total quantity of water to be had in or near the town is already in requisition—is exhausted ; and the demand for drinking, for cooking, washing it would be a bad joke to mention, for sup plying vessels, and for making steam, is constantly on the in crease. Of course the inhabitants of Dundee have not sat cross-legged and lazy without an effort to relieve themselves from the difficulties we have described. Several attempts have been made to procure a sufficient supply of water. A joint stock company was formed for this purpose by certain in dividuals, and a Bill was introduced into the House of Com mons in the session of 1835 to incorporate them. At the same time the town council, following the successful example of the neighbouring towns of Aberdeen and Perth, applied to Parliament for an Act enabling them to furnish water to the inhabitants at prime cost, to b defrayed by an assessment on the rental of all houses except the very poorest. These two schemes were carefully examined (in session 1835), by a com mittee of the House of Commons ; and the principle of gene ral assessment—that of the Town Council's Bill—was pre ferred ; but, for certain other purposes of a technical descrip tion, it was recommended that the two Bills should be " con solidated.- Both parties had proposed to go to a stream called the Dighty, about five or six miles from Dundee, for their supply. It was found, however, that there were very se rious difficulties in the way ; that the claims of the millers, who had already possession of the stream, for compensation, were exorbitant; and that after securing them the quantity of water they required, there would not be enough for Dundee. It is also a weighty objection to the drawing of water from the Dighty, that it would occasion a diminution of the water power, so valuable, in such a district, for manufacturing uses. Finding that the Dighty scheme would not answer, the town council, in a second Bill, which they brought into Parliament in the session 1836, adopted the resolution of going for water to the river Isla, one of the feeders of the Tay, into which lat ter river the Isla falls above the town of Perth. The distance from Dundee to the point whence the water was to be brought is about twelve miles. It was proposed to raise the water by engines to an eminence near Newtyle • whence, by a natu ral fall, it would flow on to Dundee. The cost of construct ing works, which would supply 600,000 gallons a-day, was estimated at 80,000/.; and the annual expense only 3,000/. ; (we have seen that about that sum is now paid to the water jobbers in Dundee for a miserable supply to a portion of the inhabitants.) The proposed works would raise the 600,000 gallons in eight hours, but in twenty-four hours 1,800,000 gal lons would be raised, the only additional expense being that of fuel, wages, &c. By extending the line of works a few miles further up the river Isla, fora higher level, and incurring an additional outlay of about one-third—making 120,0001. alto gether—tile necessity of raising the water by engines, and the annual expense of this process might be avoided, and a still ampler abundance of water obtained. It was hoped that all parties might vet be induced to concur in measures for secur ing this preferable advantage ; but in the meanwhile, and whether the extension should ever be procured or not, the two methods were, so far as the present Bill went, identically the same, bating the steam•engines. And time was of vast im portance : the Town-council were bound to be anxious to save the community of Dundee from suffering for one whole year more, the unhealthiness, filth, disgrace, and loss 'consequent upon that privation of one of the natural elements, of which the witnesses examined before both the committees of Parliament give such an extraordinary picture. An ample present and prospective supply of the finest water This was have been secured by the plan of the to wn-council. was proved—it has never been questioned. Whilst it brought into the Dundee district a new element of public wealth, from the unappropriated exuberance of nature in another quarter, it effected this without encroachment on private rights, c o r the slightest injury to any human being . It accompl el it at a cost which, looking at the grea tness of the benefit isn and the scale of the town in population and wealth, cannot but be es teemed moderate. No opposing scheme was brought forward, though at first there was the pretence of one, as a ruse. The general popularity of the t o wn-council's scheme among th e rate-payers was shown in the results of last year's keenly con _ tested municipal electio ns, and proved by several other tests. Still the Town-council lost their Bill. a How was this ? it will be asked. Of course th ere was a formal appearance o f o pp ositon, else Lordh at' t e d s b o u z r e y o NN O .° tl u le iti r have settled the matter without putting half nobles to the fatig ue of sitting in committee. In the fi rs t place, those who have private wells conceived that they had a selfish and exclusive interest, contrary to that of the public. Then the partners in the joint-stock company, though without a ny serious plan of their own, r aisedan b oppositi on, e i t h er out o f disappointment, or for the purpose of na turally enough, desired reimbursementcmg bought o ff ; they, ex penses, if they could compa ss it of considerable in any Parliamentary way. A third class of opponents would be found, of course, among those who are ever ready to object and button-up" w hen a trifle of money, however though selfish, may be smallselfishly the sum, is demanded. These, we neither blame nor kind,meddle with them. Sinister of a more latent interests, were suspected, connected with the Dightywater sources,taetiveand bitter ingredie if not traced. But the the reformedingredient in the opposition, was political o s enmity to Tories, once Town Council, on the part of t he defe.te.d number, but the rulers in Dundee, now a minority small in personally influential. This was the single ca feature of the se which made it attractive to the Tory Lords, and brought them to the muster. The town which returned the Radical Kinloch, and perseveres ill returning the Liberal Sir Henry Parnell, in a manner the most creditable among all the constituencies of the empire, must be punished for its Vide New Statistical Account of Scotland—Forfarshire, p. 7, et seq.

There is no other solution of the conduct of thosg who busied themselves in bringing about the result: nothink else could be predicated of the act►vity of Sir George Cler f in the Commons—of the Duke of Buccleuch and the Earl o Rosslyn in the Peer:. It is as regards the House of Lords, the beniticent genius of private legislation—not as regards any party, or pretence of opposition or delay, locally—that we notice this case. Parties in Dundee may quatTel ; they may never agree ; there may be a new Bill every session the next twenty years, and for each session a new plan. Such considerations formed no ground of the Lords' decision in 1836. The strongest case for passing the Bill, a Bill, almost any Bill this year, was made out. Not one witness against it was examined. After hearing a one sided speech of the opposing counsel, abruptly finished with a view to the vote on seeing the balance of Tory Members pre sent, the tutelary and veracious Peers came to the resolution, that " the allegations of the preamble" established either by admission or by the clearest evidence, " hare not been proved," and therefore they " have not proceeded further in the consi deration of the 13:11." The reasons, or no reasons, that served to this end in 1836, are likely to exist as long as Parliamentary legislation in local or private business. FINE ARTS. e have just been favoured with the sip,ht of a portrait of Lord John Russell, engra►•ed by Bromley from a painting by Hayter. It is an admirable like ness, indeed, by far the best we have yet seen, of the Noble Lord, and is not less remarkable for the ease and elegance of its attitude. His Lordship is repre sented as holding schedule A. of the Reform Bill in his hand—a memento peculiarly pleasing to the Tories, who, we have no doubt, will be among the chief pur chasers of the portrait. As an engraving the work possesses high claims to notice. Messrs- Hodgson and Graves are the publishers. NORWICH FESTIVAL-.TUESDAY. It was in the year 1824 that the first great Musical Festival was held it this ancient and picturesque city. The immense success attending the experiment has caused it s repetition every three years, and last meeting, in September, 1833, hay.. jag been in a more than ordinary degree triumphant in ics re sults, both as to fame and finance, the Norwich am a t eurs h ave again entered the field, and the series of entertaiments com mence this night. The arrangements for this splendid affair are on the grandest scale, and the musical arrangements deserve the higest cam _ mendation. The Norwich Festivals have acquired consider able reputation from the circumstance of the directors having invariably introduced for the first time to the notice of the musical world some work of classical pretensions and beauty. There will be no shrinking from this task on the present occa sion, and Mozart's " Requiem" will be produced in an entire form, as an English Oratorio. A grand rehearsal took place yesterday morning, in St. Andrew's-hall, where all the musical performances and the fancy ball will take place. The attendance is anticipated to he very numerous, from the number of tickets already disposed of. Several families of distinction are expected to arrive this day. On Lablache's journey to this city he travelled in a large post-chaise, having found the doors of the coaches too small for his convenient egress and ingress. At one of the places where he changed horses he stepped out of the machine to enjoy the luxury of a stretch of his ponderous body and limbs. The innkeeper came out at the door, and, after staring with astonishment at Lablache, he turned round, and gave a most desponding look at the skeletons of the fresh pair of horses, one of which hap pening not to be blind, must also have caught sight of the le viathan it was destined to draw ; for it shrunk instinctively from its work, and was with some difficulty harnessed. The landlord at length " smiled a smile," and, on going up to Lablache, said, " Had you not better ace a hextra pair of osses?" This was duly translated to the great buffo, who coolly replied, " Ce n'est pas necessaire." The refusal was explained to the landlord, who again urged his " plea, for humanity's sake ; and, meeting with no success, shouted out, as the chaise was driving off, " Next time you come into this here country bring two Helephants with you, for d—n my hies if I'll serve you with cattle." Another grand rehearsal takes place this morning. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. There arc good arrivals of Wheat this week, but not much other Grain.
